Tatcical gamemode... well, it would appear you've already started to get to grips with the basic essentials a shrewed player uses to ensure fleets are never lost.... Check this: Five glorious ISDs, twelve Lancer Frigates (and those are realistic proportions....) up against some rebel rag tag fleet of this and that; let's presume no one can flee...what to do.. At basic level, assign all fighter wings to a set point using the navigator tool, and keep them there! In waves send those lancers into combat, remembering to keep the final group in reserve... you'll find enemy fighters trapped between the frigates, your fighters (now being sent into combat), and your capital ships now cruising into the combat zone. *munch munch* 24 fighters of any basic standard is enough to destroy a CC-7whatever cruiser, to enable capital ships to flee. No easy explaination...explore...
